Days of Thunder #1

A week's worth of rain and a sprinkling of snow had created almost ideal late-season 'cross conditions at Western Speedway; enough mud to make things sloppy, but not so much so that riders would be forced to slog through it all on foot. Day 1 started off chilly and drizzly for the early races, but soon turned into full-on snow/sleet just in time for Masters and Elites that had people whispering comparisons to the 2016 Provincials in Squamish between chattering teeth.

Thank goodness for weather-resistant camera gear.

Everything old is new again.

'Cross is finally back.

I didn't get there until most of Race #1 was finished and I was feeling too rushed getting numbers and sorting my own shit out out during Race #2, so apologies for not being able to capture the novice men/women and the U13/15s. Things should go smoother next time now that I have my bib and have somewhat acquainted myself with the race day routine.
